Abstract: The invention relates to libraries of cyclic organic compounds and method of producing and assaying such libraries. According to the invention, each cyclic organic compound is constructed from a starting material in the form of a solid surface derivatized with a starting resin. Compounds are reacted with the resin to add or to form a cyclic group. The reactions are preferable carried out using a split resin procedure so that different compounds can be reacted with a plurality of subamounts so as to increase the size of the library. For example, compounds are reacted with a solid support bound starting resin to obtain a compound which includes an aldehyde functional group wherein the aldehyde compound or compounds reacted with it have substituents which are varied such that a mixture of products is obtained. The invention further relates to methods of producing combinatorial libraries of cyclic organic compounds from substrate bound compounds by cleaving the compounds from the support after synthesizing is completed and to assaying libraries of such compounds.

Abstract: An apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of tissue. In particular, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for temporarily immobilizing a local area of heart tissue to thereby permit surgery on a coronary vessel in that area without significant deterioration of the pumping function of the beating heart. The local area of heart tissue is immobilized to a degree sufficient to permit minimally invasive or micro-surgery on that area of the heart. The present invention features a suction device to accomplish the immobilization. The suction device is coupled to a source of negative pressure.  The suction device has a series of suction ports on one surface. Suction through the device causes suction to be maintained at the ports. The device further is shaped to conform to the surface of the heart. Thus, when the device is placed on the surface of the heart and suction is created, the suction through the ports engages the surface of the heart. The suction device is further fixed or immobilized to a stationary object, such as an operating table or a sternal or rib retractor. Thus, the local area of the heart near the suction device is temporarily fixed or immobilized relative to the stationary object while suction is maintained. In such a fashion, the coronary artery may be immobilized even though the heart itself is still beating so that a bypass graft may be performed. In addition the suction device may be used in either a conventional, open-chest environment or in a minimally-invasive environment, e.g. endoscopic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for pinpointing an interruption in a link for transmitting digital signals between a first station and a second station on the basis of the times of occurrence of signal changes on the link. In accordance with the invention, the method is characterised by generating signal changes after the link has been restored. Preferably, the time of restoration is determined on the basis of data signals received, and a detection signal is fed to the link after the determination of the time of restoration. On the basis of the difference in time of observing restoration and of receiving a detection signal, the location of the interruption is determined. For this purpose, the length of the link need not be known.
